» Fri Nov 27, 2015 4:01 am So in the game, the Institute is this bogeyman where wastelanders fear.
And everywhere you go, you get this vibe that everyone blames the Institute for everything wrong.
And when you get to the Institute, you find it otherwise.
But still, that feeling you get at the back of your head, that PERHAPS there really is a dark secret lying within,
and all this is just a big pretense, and that Shaun isn't what he seems to be. Hey if that little Shaun was a synth,
why can't the Old Shaun be a Synth too right?
Everytime i do missions for the Institute, I keep waiting and waiting for the big reveal when the Institute finally shows
its TRUE EVIL INTENTIONS!! THAT I WAS BEING MANIPULATED ALL ALONG!!!! MUAHAHAHA!!!
Except....it never happens.
There is never any sinister plot or dark secret.
The Institute really is what it is trying to be, trying its best to rebuild humanity.
And when I held the dying Shaun in my hands, and watched the main quest end,
I actually felt ashamed that I myself have become so cynical that I myself couldn't
really trust 100% that the Institute is really trying to do some good in the world.
Shaun truly believed in his Dad (Me) and while I did his missions, mentally I didn't fully 100% support him.
And this I feel is very good Storytelling.
And a good moral lesson here to learn too.
Sometimes, there is Good in the world. Not everyone out there is out to hurt you.
Oh well, thats how I feel anyway.
Guess I'm reading too much into it huh?
What do ya'll think?
